oil painting by John Sloan

One of this country’s most important artists of the early 20th century and a highly respected teacher,
John Sloan (1871-1951) spent five summers—1914 through 1918—living and working on Cape Ann.
During that time he created nearly 300 finished oil paintings, using Gloucester’s rugged landscape
as a backdrop to experiment with color and explore ideas about form, texture and light. Arguably
the most productive period of his career, the body of work that Sloan created during this time
continues to astonish and delight viewers a century after it was completed.

The Cape Ann Museum is proud to have five major works by John Sloan in its permanent
collection: Sunflowers, Rocky Neck, 1914; Old Cone (Uncle Sam), 1914; Glare on the Bay, c.1914;
Red Warehousesat Gloucester, 1914; and Dogtown, Ruined Blue Fences, 1916.

Approximately 30 additional works, drawn from public
and private collections across the country,will also be on display.
